Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A series of lectures throughout the module present key ideas relevant to the research design and taxonomy topics (LOs 1, 2 &3). These lectures will be recorded and made available with additional reading material via the Moodle site for both fulltime and distance students. Statistics will be taught in the PC lab with an initial theory introduction recorded each week but with most focus on the practice developed by working through tutorial sheets with test questions to inform self-assessment (LO2). Some topics including risk assessment and ethics lend themselves to a group work approach within the class setting.
|
Lecture notes include formative self-assessment questions to prompt engagement as well as feedforward materials for the final assessment.Data sets for statistical analysis throughout the module will allow reinforcement of techniques and self-assessment. A revision session with sample questions prior to the stats test will provide a formative assessment opportunity as correct answers are explained. A sample research proposal will be made available for critique and mock assessment.
|
There are two items of summative assessment; the development and oral presentation of a research proposal will link to material across the module (LOs 1 and 3) while an online test involving data analysis, interpretation and problem solving questions is designed to test LO 2. Campus students will take this test in a PC lab under exam conditions. Distance students who cannot attempt it at the same time will have a number of days in which to take the test, however, once started, it will be available for the same duration as that taken by the other students.
